Best NGO Award for Environment
Recognition for our tree-plantation and green-cover work that has put over 70 lakh plants into the ground.
9 Million+Trees planted
Four ways a tree gets planted
The same methods lib/programAreas.js publishes on the Environment programme page — not a generic list.
01Miyawaki forest plantation
Dense, fast-growing native forest that turns an unused urban plot into closed canopy in years, not decades.
Why it matters
A sapling in the ground is not a forest. Every plantation is offered with a maintenance programme spanning one, three or five years — because long-term survival, not planting-day photographs, is what turns a drive into a canopy.
- Scientifically managed projects, opening carbon credit opportunities
- Aligned to ESG goals, BRSR reporting, net-zero commitments and the SDGs
- Urban work in Bangalore, Delhi, Noida, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi and more
- Maintenance of 1, 3 or 5 years, chosen per project
Planting is the easy half
“Planting a tree is giving life. Keeping it alive is the harder half.”
50M trees by 2030 — against more than 9 million already in the ground
